Thanks for your input Stewie. The Sunpod has provisions to be hung from the ceiling and comes with the hardware to do so (no modding necessary, well except to my ceiling lol). I figured I'd rather have too much light and be able to use it if I upgrade my system later down the road, rather than not have enough and end up wanting to upgrade the lighting in the long run. Also, I couldn't pass up the deal, I got it brand new, still in box from a group buy for only $215 which is quite less than even the 16" 70-watt unit costs in the stores. I'm debating whether or not I should hang it and slowly lower it as I increase the time it's on while acclimating the corals to the new lights or to just use the legs that come with it. I'm leaning toward the legs because it's easier and I don't have to put any holes in the ceiling. Also, I purchased some light diffuser to hopefully aid in the acclimation process and to keep the fishies from going carpet diving. Atleast my two clams should be a bit happier with the new lighting, but they seemed to do much better than I thought they would with the stock lighting and 2 10-watt 50/50 bulbs aimed at them from outside the tank as supplimental lighting. One of them is a Derasa which is known to do fairly well under power compacts, my other one is a blue/green Crocea which usually requires much more lighting, but has done much better than I could have hoped for and has kepts it's awesome coloration. I've had them both for about 4 months. But yeah I think I might have to rearrange some of my corals for the new lighting and create some new shady areas within the rockwork.
